Change the lives of women and future generations

For mothers living in remote communities, accessing healthcare can mean walking for hours, often with a sick child in their arms.

Resian lives in rural Kenya with her 14-month-old baby, Seleina. After facing long-term drought conditions, Resian made the decision to relocate her family to the northern mountains, where they have been able to resettle with their livestock in a new community.

While the move has offered her family a new beginning, accessing medical care remains a considerable challenge.

“When Seleina gets sick, there is no health facility nearby so I just stay here with her. If the condition is really critical then I have to go to the nearest healthcare facility which is far away and there is no means of transport to get there. If I had to take her, it would take me six hours to walk there. There is a small dispensary closer but that would still take me four hours.”

But together, we are helping to change this.

Thanks to your generosity, IHP has established partnerships that are bringing medical care closer to families like Resian's, helping ensure mothers and children can access the medicines and treatment they need within their own communities.

Resian has already experienced the difference this makes:

“Today I am very happy because I don’t have to walk to the dispensary to get my child’s medicine. This has saved me time and energy.”

Thank you for making this possible. Your generosity is helping bring essential healthcare within reach of vulnerable mothers and children, transforming lives and giving families like Resian and Seleina's hope for a healthier future.
